Contrary to popular belief, sneakers can be plenty chic for places outside the gym. Observe street style stars, celebrities, and fashion bloggers wearing them all over Instagram, and you’ll be ready to stock up on your own collection of cool kicks. First stop: high-tops. Whether you’re styling them with a pair of sports pants and a crop top or your favorite floral dress, high-tops have a way of making an outfit look more effortless and casual—perfect timing, since the athleisure trend hit hard a few seasons ago, and isn’t going anywhere.

Today’s post is brought to you by Nordstrom and ShopStyle. All clothing selections, opinions, and editorial decisions are solely my own. Dress / Earrings / Shoes Dress / Earrings Top / Skirt / Necklace Shoes Top / Jeans / Earrings / Shoes Dress / Earrings Dress / Earrings / Shoes Oh how I love Nordstrom – let me count the ways: free shipping both directions, a wide selection including exclusive brands and extended sizes, a loyalty program, and stellar customer service (buy online and pick up in-store, alterations and tailoring, styling services). When asked what retailer I trust the most, Nordstrom would definitely top the list. Especially as I get older, I want quality brands that will last, and Nordstrom has become a place I shop more and more frequently! The jeans and blush shoes in today’s post are my own Nordstrom finds from last year (still in stock). And then I selected a few more items to try from their website for a wide variety of occasions – work, date night, and casual weekend. My favorite find is the floral maxi. I can’t wait to wear it for date night with the hubs, and for an upcoming shower. But all of it’s super cute for different reasons! Nordstrom is truly a one-stop, hi-low destination for all occasions. Is Nordstrom a top retailer for you, too? Which outfit is your favorite?
